VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST on Lollipop Chainsaw with NVIDIA GTX 970 on Windows

Hi there, 

I am new to RPCS3 and emulation and am running into an issue when loading the Lollipop Chainsaw rom via RPCS3. It loads and I get to the second checkpoint in the prequel/tutorial part of the game before the game freezes and then crashes. It does save my progress, but I cannot proceed any farther into the game. Any help is appreciated.

Here are my stats PC below:
RYZEN 5 3600x, 6-Core, 12-Thread 4.4 GHz AM4 Processor
32 GB RAM
GTX 970 4 GB
500 GB SSD

RPCS3 Version 0.0.31-16389-430b5783 Alpha  | master
